CS45 TCP Analysis in-Depth (CPE: 1.5)

Written by Laura Chappell

TCP is the basic communication used for most important network traffic - web browsing, database access, email, file transfers, etc. In this course, Laura takes you through various trace files of normal and abnormal TCP communications and explains the handshake process, TCP options, window size, packet loss and recovery, selective ACKs, timeouts, session tear down processes and TCP reassembly. Laura shows graphs of TCP traffic that 'scream the story' of why communications are so lousy.
